Not sure what this has to do with Twitter, unless there's some secret gov org behind Twitter.

I don't think finding corruption in government is all that hard to find. Maybe take your idea to a forum where it's on topic.

By keeping our followers list random AND refusing to let us know when a spammer starts following us, you help them. As I read this it is a purposeful choice by Twitter to aid the spammers.

It is easy to see from the numbers that these accounts are not being deleted. If you wanted to help, users would be able to see new follows in their accounts rather than a random list so we could review them.

All Twit History GONE

All Twit history is gone. There's no way to see anything from anyone I'm following. If you can't see a twit unless you are watching at the time it was posted, any usefulness of the service is gone. Last time I checked there were hundreds of twits showing.

Since spammers/twit-whores can do this, there's an obvious problem. If Twitter chooses to remain silent on the issue, that could do more harm than the current architecture issues. All the hardware and good design in the world won't help if the service is abused by spammers.

David started following the idea "Analyze New Followers feature" in Twitter.

Sending Twitter status via Twitter is pointless if Twitter is down.

A comment on the problem "Not getting email when someone follows me" in Twitter:

I do believe "they" have found out a way to follow and avoid the notification being sent. I get notices irregularly, and to the person, it's someone that I can see has an obvious reason for following. When I browse my followers list and see someone new, they are always folks who follow 1000's of people.

Why the follower list has to be random is beyond me. – David, on May 23, 2008 21:09

David replied on May 21, 2008 23:12 to the question "Why is my twitter widget slowing down my blog load time?" in Twitter:

Twitter is down more than it's up. Don't put the widget on your blog. Twitter is dying under it's own success. I doubt it lasts the year as folks look for a reliable alternative.

I always get email alerts *unless* the new follower is a "Twitter Slut" - someone who's following tens of thousands of people. There's obviously a whole in the Twitter code that allows these people, generally spammers, to add you to the list of people they follow and bypass the email alert.
